Created within the association "Théâtre à Saint-Marcel-de-Felines", the network was born from the desire to promote these often-unknown-treasures of garden art. In addition, it became an independent association in 2008.
Our aim is to share information about these magical places and to help develop their activities, promoting both beauty of arts and landscapes.
Hence we have undertaken to list the green open air theatres, whether ancient or contemporary, in France and abroad.
The network's goals are numerous:
IDENTIFYING
► Creation of an inventory of the green open air theatres in the world
SHARING
► Spreading news about the green open air theatres
► Writing scientific publications
PROTECTING
► Restoration and conception of theatres
CREATING
► Undertaking and sharing cultural projects
SPREADING
► Developing an international associative network regrouping owners and managers of green open air theatres
► Encouraging green scene specialists (architects, landscapers, custodians, art historians, artists, authors, stage directors ...) to share their skills and professional advice
BRINGING THE THEATRES ALIVE
► Supporting open air theatre shows
► Organising shows within the association
► Offering help and actions to spread the association work
